There is a report in The Leeds Intelligence of  5 Oct 1762 of a Jewish Liverpool Merchant ,Joseph Levi- renouncing his faith and being baptised at St Andrews, Liverpool as Robert Joseph Levi. The article went on to say "we hear that many more Jews intend following his Example".

Yorkshire (West Riding) / SOLVED: Levi children baptised around 20 years old
« on: Saturday 01 May 21 09:29 BST (UK)  »
In my family tree, I've come across a Levi/Foggan family with the parents Henry Levi and Mary Rebecca Foggan married in Northumberland 1767, but end up living in Warmfield.

Their children I've found so far appear to have been baptised around 20 yrs old.

Samuel Levi - Born 9 Dec 1769 and Baptised 26 Apr 1785

Frances Levi - Born 1783 and Baptised 18 November 1802
Joseph Levi - Born 1777 and Baptised 18 November 1802

What would be the reason for the adult baptisms?
I understand the name Levi (Levy) is Jewish.
